Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT, THE COUNCIL PROVIDES THE PRESIDENT A HOUSING ALLOWANCE WHICH IS GROSSED UP AND INCLUDED IN HIS TAXABLE WAGES. THAT HOUSING ALLOWANCE IS REFLECTED ON SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (B)(III).

PART I, LINE 7
NON-FIXED PAYMENTS THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS PROVIDES DISCRETIONARY BONUSES TO OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES REPORTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S FORM 990.
